Senator Khalwale: I Have 17 Children and Four Wives
For years, many Kenyans have been questioning the number of children Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale has.
The question of his family details often arises whenever the Senator takes to social media to celebrate the performance of his children during the release of national examination results.
Not once, twice, or even thrice has the senator posted about the performance of his different children on his social media platform.
Proud of his children and marriage, Khalwale has numerous times publicly admitted to being a polygamous man.
Though he is known to have a good number of children, details about his wives have been scanty.
In a press conference on Tuesday, the senator revealed that he has four wives and 17 children.
Khalwale said his first wife is the late Adelaide Khalwale who is the mother of his first three children.
Adelaide passed away in 2019.
